so i tinkered with my ride today...

[Yaj Yak]

started off wishing to block off the evap passage into the tb... soo... removed the tb to get to work, and noticed quite a bit of coolant in the egr hole in my s/c casing... wtf...

so look at the tb gasket... it looks fucked... sooo begin to think... maybe i should replace my s/c gasket too... trip to the local stealership later...

got myself gaskets and shit... begin super quick rip down... realize my bbv's vacuum hookup/nipple was cracked off, and just like chillin in the bbv...

super

but what the hell do i need that for? later bbv...

later evap... realize my tps wasnt plugged into its home all the way... reconnect that... redo my vac lines since i got rid of the evap and the bbv... hour and a half later... car idles muccch better, seeing -20 in hg instead of -10 on my boost/vac gauge... and sounds a lot better... so basically...

going into fix evap cracked hose... results in ditching the evap, bbv, redoing the s/c and tb gasket in just under an hour and a half... now car is running pretty rich since i was basically tuning it with a few minor vac leaks, so now i need to lean it out...

hopefully this negates the trans bs i was seeing... i think it willl.

yay for cars idling near stock again tho!

picks or it didnt happen....

dont ya just love the 3800 snowball effect lol

 

[02BlueGT]

Yeah, TPS could cause the odd trans issue you had

 

[Mickey]

Good work man. The less bullshit the better

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

dep on how long that coolants been weeping intot he motor it might not be a bad idea to replace the O2 sensor....silicates can really fuck em up

ya.... i think i need to... it threw a insufficient switching code the other day... soooo maybe that had something going with it...

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

that code will still trigger with a vac leak as well...but much more likely fro the coolant ingestion

when you do a log with eng runtime check the rich to lean transitions....you should average at least 1.5 cycles per second pref 2 cycles per second

KJ you should post up some videos of that cutout open. Maybe a driving video. The sound of the spool is the shit.

Can't remember if you made a video of it or not...

I would have to agree with what 02bluegt said that tps was prolly messin with the trans too.

 

[Yaj Yak]

its fucking loud. best way to put it.
fucking.
loud.

 

[jeff99gtp]

you shoulda just swapped to an n/a uim and lim while you where in there that far. but good to hear that its running better!

 

[Yaj Yak]

u r prolly right jeff...

 

[32vMonte]

I know it's loud I just want to hear that snail. lol

 

[M@]

slow
gay
junk

 

[Yaj Yak]

slow indeed.

 

[Eagle]

Dude, why was your junk fallin apart like that? Good job cleaning it up though, now get busy tuning that thing without a 1/2 dozen leaks and see how it does!

 

[02BlueGT]

u r prolly right jeff...

If you want an L36 LIM and UIM.... I got one for cheap

cuz its redneck as shit. i think there might be one still, im thinking in the piping somewhere or a coupler.

how cheap.

 

[my97gtp]

have you turned the boost up yet? I still have not made mine knock yet up to 13.5 but cant keep the boost up there since its breaking up so bad. Next time i am home i am going to gap the plugs to .035 and hope that helps.

 

[Yaj Yak]

my car loves vacuum leaks.

 

[bluzohh6]

Hey good work im proud of you

 

[Yaj Yak]

Hey good work im proud of you

X's 2? what is keeping you back from turning it up? turn that bitch up and let her rip!!!!

i had my boost turned up to 21psi and didnt have any kr

I wish i could start turning it up. I can get the boost higher but it doesnt run much faster since it has such a dead spot between 5200-5500 after it passes 5500 or so it pulls hard till it shifts at 5800 or so and keeps pulling hard till it hits 5200ish again. Im hoping its a ignition issue and not valve float which i am thinking it is since it clears up with higher rpm which with valve float i would think wouldnt clear up at all with more rpm. Plugs are at .040 so i need to gap them smaller and see if it helps.
